The number of COLTS clubs in the various regions has shot up in the last three years following positive interventions and undiluted commitment towards producing the next super stars in Ghana.
The Ghana Football Association has invested heavily in the supply of free footballs and bibs, payment of officiating fees, the introduction of Game Centres and increased subventions for the ten regional football Associations with the singular aim of developing COLTS football, as grassroots football remains a vital component of the football ecosystem.
With the support of KGL Foundation, the Ghana Football Association has consistently run the national U-17 and regional U-17 Championships within the last three seasons.
